A court in Karachi has ordered that Anmol, also known as Pinky, be held on judicial remand in connection with multiple criminal cases following her appearance before the judicial complex. This development came after the completion of her physical remand in a murder case registered at Baghdadi police station.
Since her arrest earlier this month, Pinky has been accused of operating an extensive drug trafficking network as well as involvement in murder. She was apprehended on May 12 during a joint operation conducted by police and a civilian intelligence agency at her residence in Karachi’s Garden area. Authorities recovered weapons, cocaine, and other narcotics valued at approximately Rs1.5 million from her possession at the time of arrest. It was alleged that she was managing a drug distribution network within the port city.
However, Pinky denied these allegations, claiming she had been detained in Lahore 15 days prior to her transfer to Karachi. During the remand proceedings, she was presented before the court for 18 separate cases. The court decided to send her back to jail under judicial custody and instructed the investigating officers to submit challans for each case.
In a notable incident on May 12, a video circulated showing Pinky being produced before a judicial magistrate in Karachi without handcuffs and under special protocol. This led to criticism and subsequent disciplinary action against the officers responsible, as stated by Karachi Additional Inspector General Azad Khan.
During the initial investigation, Pinky reportedly confessed to paying substantial bribes amounting to hundreds of thousands of rupees monthly to various police stations across Karachi. She also disclosed involvement in narcotics sales exceeding Rs20 million per month within the city.
In a press briefing on May 15, AIG Khan revealed that the investigation uncovered foreign links to Pinky’s drug network, including participation by six African nationals and several women based in Lahore. He confirmed ongoing raids aimed at apprehending her accomplices, some of whom are reportedly from Lahore.
Subsequently, Sindh Inspector General of Police Javed Alam Odho indicated that the probe might reveal the involvement of several prominent individuals. He urged the public to assist law enforcement by providing information and cooperating with authorities in the fight against drug trafficking.
Addressing a press conference in Karachi on May 19, the Sindh police chief announced the formation of a dedicated task force to combat narcotics. He called on citizens to come forward and testify in court, emphasizing that combating drug trafficking is a collective responsibility.
